São Paulo Court Gives Up to 27 Years in Robbery-Death of Lawyer Luiz Fernando Pacheco

The judge ruled the case as latrocínio because the evidence showed a violent attack on a vulnerable victim.

Overview

  • Lucas Braz dos Santos received 27 years, 2 months and 20 days, and Ana Paula Teixeira Pinto de Jesus got 23 years and 4 months for latrocínio, while José Lucas Domingo Alves was sentenced to two years and four months for involvement with the stolen goods.
  • The defense can appeal the verdict to the São Paulo Court of Justice, according to reporting on the decision.
  • The sentence cites surveillance footage, witness statements, police reports, forensic analyses and the necropsy as proof of authorship, materiality and the violence used.
  • Investigators said Pacheco, who had consumed alcohol and medication, was assaulted on Rua Itambé in Higienópolis, fell, convulsed and died after his phone, a Rolex and his wallet were taken.
  • The ruling rejected defense requests to reclassify the case as simple robbery or theft.
